Technical Meaning

The error code WSA_QOS_BAD_OBJECT with the numeric value 11013 and hexadecimal representation 0x2B05 indicates an issue related to a problem with some part of the filterspec or providerspecific buffer in general. This error is typically encountered when working with Quality of Service (QoS) configurations in Windows networking applications.

Error Details

The WSA_QOS_BAD_OBJECT error suggests that there is a misconfiguration or an invalid state within the QoS-related objects being used by the application. Specifically, this could involve issues such as incorrect filterspecs or providerspecific buffers that are not properly formatted or do not adhere to the expected structure.

Usage Context

This error can occur in various scenarios where applications interact with network Quality of Service (QoS) settings. It is commonly encountered when setting up QoS policies, configuring traffic shaping rules, or managing network bandwidth allocation.

Developer Interpretation

Developers should interpret this error as an indication that the application has attempted to use a QoS-related object in a manner that violates its expected usage constraints. This could be due to incorrect parameter values, invalid object types, or exceeding certain limits imposed by the system.

Related Errors
